Uptime monitoring recommendations

[chris]

Hi all,

I'm currently using Pingdom and some internal tools (Nagios) for monitoring, I was wondering if anyone else has any recommendations for uptime monitoring tools like Pingdom?

I'm looking at monitoring a few sites and I don't mind paying a few bucks for something reliable.

Cheers,
Chris

I don't mind New Relic

Nagios is pretty hard to beat

One thing to keep in mind when monitoring from overseas services to anything in AU that you may get false positives if they don't check from a local location.

I have heard good things about Wormly. Spoken with several others in the industry and it is highly recommended.

I like uptimerobot.

good point Mick, I have this issue in some disputes around SLAs, and it usually turns out that the monitoring service is in the USA or UK etc

Jetpack have just rolled out a new module called Monitor with their latest Plugin update:

Jetpack Monitor will keep tabs on your site, and alert you the moment that downtime is detected.

Thanks, I've been looking for a good free monitor. UT Robot looks pretty good.

Here's another one to add to the list currently in beta:

Yet another one to add to the list, it looks pretty good:

http://sensuapp.org/

It's written in Ruby, can use Nagios plugins and it has a bunch of other features.
